The Sheep Brain vs. The Human BrainSimilarities and Differences of...The human brain and sheep brain have the major difference that humans can think, are able to have friends, remember what we classify as fun times and be emotional. The human brain has a larger frontal lobe than that of a sheep’s.The sheep’s brain has a more developed olfactory bulb when compared to the human brain.The human brain is much heavier and longer than a sheep's but a human brain is rounded whereas a sheep's brain is elongated in shape.DifferencesThe Sheep Kidney vs. The Human KidneyHuman KidneySheep KidneyThe kidneys share the same functions such as retaining homeostasis, blood pressure, excretion of waste and more. The sheep's kidneys function differently than human kidneys, producing different proteins and hormones in different quantities.Similarities and DifferencesSimilaritiesIn our research we've found that the sheep brain is very similar to that of a human's. There are many structures in the same general area that perform the same function.For example both the human and sheep have a cerebellum. And although it's not lined up identically they share the same job and that's the ability to control precise movements.Sheep BrainThe HeartFunctionCranial Nerves Cranial nerves are the 12 nerves that can be seen on the bottom surface of the brain. They bring information from the sense organs to the brain;Some cranial nerves control muscles and others cranial nerves are connected to glands or internal organs such as the heart and lungs.12 Cranial Nerves olfactory - smell optic – vision oculomotor- eye movements trochlear- eye movements trigeminal – sensations of the face scalp and teeth; chewing motion abducens- eye movements facial – sense of taste; contraction of all muscles of the facial expression vestibulocochlear- hearing; sense of balance glossopharyngeal- Sensations of the throat taste swallowing movements; secreation of salvia vagus- sensations of the throat and larynx and of the thoracic and abodinal organs; swallowing, voice production, slowing of the heartbeat, acceleration of peristalsis accessory- shoulder movements; turning movements hypoglossal – tongue movements The heart pumps blood through the body via the circulatory system The circulatory system supplies our cells' transportation needs The sheep heart and the human heart serve the same function the only difference is that they are different sizes The Human Eyeball
